There are only a limited number of things you can control during this process, and the most important is your perspective along the way. I adopted a “T14 or bust” mindset and started tying my self-worth to law school decisions. I wish I had trusted the process more. I had already done the work, built a strong GPA and LSAT, and put real effort into my applications. At that point, all I could do was trust what I had put in. I think I would have been happier if I had focused more on enjoying the present instead of the outcome. If you have made a good faith effort, let go and let yourself enjoy this stage. Things tend to work out the way they are meant to. I know that is easier to see in hindsight, but it is still true. More importantly, trust yourself.
